About time. LOL! So in 1.5 weeks, we will finally get to try this out. I thought we had a real race going here to see if the Cubs win the WS or GT5 will get released. LOL!

Don't you know? Mr. Yamauchi says the Cubs WS rings are being stamped as we speak!

You know, I kind of regret buying the wheel (Driving Force GT) upon release a couple years ago. I bought it specifically to use for GT5, so it had been sitting around until then. I'm pretty sure it's way cheaper now.

Do you think the Driving Force GT is a good balance for people like me who like racing games but aren't super-hardcore about it? I mean, I'm not going to spend $300 on a wheel.

Absolutely. You can get them with deals online for around $70 if you look. And I am sure there will be a lot of deals on Amazon and Newegg, etc when this game hits.

Playing racing games with a wheel will open a whole new level of fun for you. You will never use a controller again after... and quite frankly, in a sim inspired racing game, a wheel is clearly a must. The controller just can not replicate it fully.

Yeah, I consider myself in that group... The DFGT is half the price compared to the approx $300 G27, which I consider the wheel for the super-hardcore... You'll be missing a clutch and the H pattern stick shift in the DFGT, but to save $150+ I can deal with that.

I played a bit of Prologue with the wheel... With a bit of track memorization, the game is definitely much more fun.
